Repeated crashes when trying to load webpages or youtube videos

Firefox has been experiencing repeated issues that cause it to fail to load certain websites or portions of sites, often related to video playback. YouTube videos would attempt to load, never start playing, and eventually all of Firefox will crash. The same is now happening with other websites such as Amazon that seem to crash the browser just trying to bring them up. Not all of the sites are specifically video sites like YouTube but they often have embedded players. YouTube will load fine until you actually try to click on a video, browsing the homepage doesn't cause this issue.

Restarting Firefox in safe mode did not alleviate the issue, and Firefox is up to date.

MemTest LAST UPDATED : 12/04/2020 Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/ in order to check the integrity of your RAM?

You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.


Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ? If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file.
